Gov't gives
grant money
to Beacon Hill

WEST VANCOUVER’S Beacon Hill Lodge has
received a $4,700 grant from the federal gov-

ernment.

The lodge, recently beset
with controversy over the
number of wheelchairs in its
lobby, was awarded the
grant through the National
Health and Welfare’s New
Horizons Program.

John McRae, vice-presi-
dent of the Beacon Hill
Lodge residents council, said
the grant money, which the
lodge received Friday, would
be put towards construction
of a residents’ kitchen facili-
ty.

THERAPEUTIC

“The kitchen will be a
great asset for all the resi-
dents here,’’ McRae said.
"it will allow them to enter-
tain family and friends, have
them over for dinner. The
whole thing will be very
therapeutic.”

Total cost of the project,
McRae said, will be approx-
imately $11,000. Money
from the grant coupled with
$2,000raised by the residents
and $1,600 donated by the
lodge leaves an approximate
$2,500 shortfall, which the
residents will endeavor to
generate through their Sun-
shine Club. ~

COMPLAINTS

A September 15 story in
the News documented
anonymous complaints
levelled at Beacon Hill
Lodge and its residents that
the lodge’s waiting room was
overcrowded with ‘morose’
elderly people in
wheeichairs. McRae said
Friday the anonymous group
has yet tu come forward.

Another grant under the
same New Horizons pro-
gram was awarded to the
Senior Snooker Society of
the West Vancouver Senior
Activity Centre. The $3,647
grant wiil be used to pur-
chase a pool table and to
conduct Monday morning
snooker seminars.

Director of the 2,500-
member WVSAC Sheila
Jones said Friday that the
new pool table will help
alleviate the heavy usage
placed on the centre’s ex-
isting two tables.

“Snooker is an extremely
popular sport here,’’ Jones
said.

A total of 37 B.C. seniors
groups received approx-
imetely $311,340 under the
New Horizons prograta dur-
ing September.
